Hi,

Here is what happened, one day my mud was in a deadlock. After
some additonal logging I found out the 'checkpointing'- routine
was never called. I changed the signal from SIGVALRM to SIGALRM
and the itimer type to ITIMER_REAL and now it works fine.

Are there anymore people who had this problem ?
